Alexa & Katie

Alexa and Katie is perfectly enjoyable for all ages.

A bit too melodramatic but I don't really care.

The characters are perfect, Alexa's older brother is incredible, I love him.

Netflix gave us a great show here.

The show definitely has it moments. The jokes are predictive and sometimes a little "childish" but it is a kids/teenshow after all. You could easily catch something similar on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel but i did find myself enjoying the show after a few episodes. The acting isn't bad, the actors do their job very well. I would say: give this show a try on a lazy Sunday when you're caught up with all your other tv shows. You might just like it, who knows?

The show has its moments. The actors are great.

But as someone who knew a cancer patient, it left some realistic elements out.

Like fatigue to the point of being bed ridden. Memory loss. Meeting others that were like herself. I understand that this is suppose to be from a teens POV but even then a real opinion would have been great to have to base the show off of.

I'm hoping that the episodes get better.

Binged watched it via Netflix,in two days. Kept my attention,good storylines & characters. Worth checking out,if you haven't yet.

My teenage daughter had cancer, and she is almost one year post treatment. This show is funny, and has some great things about it, but it doesn't accurately show what it's like for a kid to have cancer. For instance, a cancer patient has a port, they don't get iv's Every time they receive chemo. They have to wear a mask when they go out into crowded places because their immune system is so low. They are very weak from the chemo. Too weak to run around, jump up and down, attend school with as much energy as Alexa, etc. they don't need to be told to take naps. They beg to take naps. My daughter carried a blanket around with her at all times and laid down every chance she could. Cancer patients require blood transfusions, hospital stays because of infections, constant doctors visits, and lots of sleep. This show makes it look easy. My daughter tried to watch it and she couldn't even finish the season because it bothered her so much. All of her "friends" left her. She couldn't go to school. And she has no energy at all. Her experience was the total opposite of this. I just wish tv shows and movies would actually get it right.
